Members -please ensure your CPS contact, boat info, and membership is current. Go to www.cps-ecp.ca to confirm. This is where we gather our contact list from. If you are not receiving our sporadic Squadron email notices, this is one of the most likely issues. The next would be to check your junkmail/spam email settings. A reminder to long standing members (whose renewals will all be for April 1) that dues are quickly approaching. Newer members your membership dates align with the date you joined. We will be culling our newsletter email list the end of April to reflect current membership at that time. ​

Start of the Season: Ladysmith Shakedown CruiseIt was a good time had by all who attended this gem of a spot. More photos here.

​Pub night: Grad Celebration with guest speaker Jeff Cote (Wed., Jan. 31)Thanks to all that came out. This topical presentation (and ensuing discussion) was very entertaining and informative.

The Langley Power & Sail Squadron Christmas Party A crew of sixty-five(!) had a great time socializing on our New West Paddle Wheeler run up the Fraser River. Thanks to all who attended, it was fantastic to see such a great turn out.

​Canada Day at Genoa Bay was great, and a well attended Rendezvous. We had 4 boats from Fraser Squadron join us, for 17 boats in total! A good time was had by all!

Telegraph Marina Shakedown CruiseApril 28/29

Not warm and balmy, but not snowing either :^) Nine boats did enjoy the warm company of a wet, but enjoyable rendezvous.​

Past Events (cont.)

LPSS and WRPSS members received hundreds of expired flares at Steveston Marine, Bwho gathered and returned them for proper disposal. Thanks to all -especially our members that gave their time to assist others, learn about required safety equipment, and their care and maintenance.

Social & Grad Night:Wednesday January 11th

It may have been cold outside, but the discussions were heating up in anticipation for the coming boating season. A good turnout was on hand to congratulate some of our recent grads, and to listen to a very interesting presentation by Jeff Cote of Pacific Yacht Systems.​

CANADA DAY CRUISE July 1-3Although having Canada Day fall on a Friday -the day most are doing their travelling- it was a great weekend, with several boats managing to make it in early (surprisingly, those coughs and sore throats that appeared Thurs. afternoon at work seemed to quickly disappear... hmm?)! A good turn out was made even more enjoyable as the Wests (members of both BSPS and LPSS) and 4 boats from Fraser partook in the weekends activities. Thanks again to all who came out; to our special guests; and to our Cruisemasters for yet another great job! (more photos here)
